Toxaway Company is a merchandiser that segments its business into two divisions-Commercial and Residential. The company's accounting intern was asked to prepare segmented income statements that the company's divisional managers could use to calculate their break-even points and make decisions. She took the prior month's companywide income statement and prepared the absorption format segmented income statement shown below: Sales Cost of goods sold Gross margin Selling and administrative expenses Net operating income Total Company $ 990,000 663,300 326,700 304,000 $ 22,700 Commercial Residential $ 330,000 $ 660,000 181,500 481,800 148,500 178, 200 136,000 168,000 $ 12,500 $ 10,200 In preparing these statements, the intern determined that Toxaway's only variable selling and administrative expense is a 10% sales commission on all sales. The company's total fixed expenses include $63,000 of common fixed expenses that would continue to be incurred even if the Commercial or Residential segments are discontinued, $82,000 of fixed expenses that would disappear if the Commercial segment is dropped, and $60,000 of fixed expenses that would disappear if the Residential segment is dropped.
